infoseq |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
infoseq displays on screen basic information about one or more input sequences. This includes the Uniform Sequence Address (USA), name, accession number, type (nucleic or protein), length, percentage C+G and description. Any combination of these records is easily selected or unselected for display. The same information may be written to an output file which (optionally) may be formatted in an HTML table.
Display information on a sequence:
% infoseq tembl:x13776 Display basic information about sequences USA Database Name Accession Type Length %GC Organism Description tembl-id:X13776 tembl X13776 X13776 N 2167 66.54 Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa amiC and amiR gene for aliphatic amidase regulation |
Go to the input files for this example
Example 2
Don't display the USA of a sequence:
% infoseq tembl:x13776 -nousa Display basic information about sequences Database Name Accession Type Length %GC Organism Description tembl X13776 X13776 N 2167 66.54 Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa amiC and amiR gene for aliphatic amidase regulation |
Example 3
Display only the name and length of a sequence:
% infoseq tembl:x13776 -only -name -length Display basic information about sequences Name Length X13776 2167 |
Example 4
Display only the description of a sequence:
% infoseq tembl:x13776 -only -desc Display basic information about sequences Description Pseudomonas aeruginosa amiC and amiR gene for aliphatic amidase regulation |
Example 5
Display the type of a sequence:
% infoseq tembl:x13776 -only -type Display basic information about sequences Type N |
Example 6
Display information formatted with HTML:
% infoseq tembl:x13776 -html Display basic information about sequences

Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0
Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
[-sequence] seqall (Gapped) sequence(s) filename and optional
format, or reference (input USA)
Additional (Optional) qualifiers:
-outfile outfile [stdout] If you enter the name of a file
here then this program will write the
sequence details into that file.
-html boolean [N] Format output as an HTML table
Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
-[no]columns boolean [Y] Set this option on (Y) to print the
sequence information into neat, aligned
columns in the output file. Alternatively,
leave it unset (N), in which case the
information records will be delimited by a
character, which you may specify by using
the -delimiter option. In other words, if
-columns is set on, the -delimiter option is
overriden.
-delimiter string [|] This string, which is usually a single
character only, is used to delimit
individual records in the text output file.
It could be a space character, a tab
character, a pipe character or any other
character or string. (Any string)
-only boolean [N] This is a way of shortening the command
line if you only want a few things to be
displayed. Instead of specifying:
'-nohead -noname -noacc -notype -nopgc
-nodesc'
to get only the length output, you can
specify
'-only -length'
-[no]heading boolean [Y] Display column headings
-usa boolean [@(!$(only))] Display the USA of the
sequence
-database boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'database' column
-name boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'name' column
-accession boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'accession' column
-gi boolean [N] Display 'GI' column
-seqversion boolean [N] Display 'version' column
-type boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'type' column
-length boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'length' column
-pgc boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'percent GC content'
column
-organism boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'organism' column
-description boolean [@(!$(only))] Display 'description' column
Associated qualifiers:
"-sequence" associated qualifiers
-sbegin1 integer Start of each sequence to be used
-send1 integer End of each sequence to be used
-sreverse1 boolean Reverse (if DNA)
-sask1 boolean Ask for begin/end/reverse

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').
Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl
Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.
The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.

The first non-blank line is the heading. This is followed by one line per sequence containing the following columns of data separated by one of more space or TAB characters:
If qualifiers to inhibit various columns of information are used, then the remaining columns of information are output in the same order as shown above, so if '-nolength' is used, the order of output is: usa, name, accession, type, description.
When the -html qualifier is specified, then the output will be wrapped in HTML tags, ready for inclusion in a Web page. Note that tags such as <HTML> and <BODY> are not output by this program as the table of databases is expected to form only part of the contents of a web page - the rest of the web page must be supplier by the user.
The lines of out information are guaranteed not to have trailing white-space at the end.
There are many qualifiers to control exactly what information on the sequence is output and how it is formatted. If you only want a few fields in the output file, the command line may be shortended by preceding the appropriate qualifier with -only. For example, instead of specifying -nohead -noname -noacc -notype -nopgc -nodesc to get only the length output, you can specify -only -length.
By default, the output file starts each line with the USA of the sequence being described, so the output file is a list file that can be manually edited and read in by any other EMBOSS program that can read in one or more sequence to be analysed.
